Love isn’t borrowed, we aren’t promised tomorrow…

To my husband:
Life has thrown us some interesting twists this year. And I know it’s made us both unsure of what lies ahead. Sometimes the future looks really scary. But like I have many times in life…music and the lyrics…have found their way into my heart…and helped me make sense of the confusion that life can sometimes be. Though we may not be steady, or ever be ready for what life has to offer… we aren’t promised tomorrow and I’m blessed b/c I have your love to carry me through. I know whatever we face…it’ll be ok. Whatever the decision…whatever the “thing” we’re diving into…I’m glad it’s me and you. Like it always has been. Love you always.

Mat Kearney - Never Be Ready
We’ve got our feet on the wire, talking ‘bout flying

Maybe were diving in over our heads

Scared of what I’m feeling

Staring at the ceiling here tonight

Come on lay down these arms, all our best defenses
Were taking our chances here on the run
The fear is an anchor, time is a stranger
Love isn’t borrowed, we aren’t promised tomorrow

We’ll never be ready if we keep waiting

For the perfect time to come

Won’t be steady, we’ll never be ready
Where we don’t know, though we can’t see
Just walk on down this road with me
Won’t be steady, never be ready


You’re okay; you’re with me here in the silence
With all of the violence crashing around
Saying we can’t go, saying we don’t know
This road that is narrow is the one we should follow


We’ll never be ready if keep waiting
For the perfect time to come
Won’t be steady, we’ll never ready


Where we don’t know, though we can’t see
Just walk on down this road with me
Won’t be steady, we’ll never be ready


Won’t be steady, never be ready
Won’t be steady, never be ready
Won’t be steady, never be ready
